Ncaa Basketball player list #55

Closed goose2288 closed 5 years ago

Just wondering if your scraper could make a player list for the NCAA Mens Basketball rosters? I do a draft every year for the March Madness Tournament. Thanks

mattheworres commented 5 years ago

I can see about adding in NCAA Mens basketball, I'd have to go through and create a list of teams though.

Do you just need the CSV data? ~If so, I'd say go ahead and create this issue on https://github.com/mattheworres/hootdraft-scraper/issues and I can (pretty easily) add an option for ncaam that hands you back the data you're looking for.~ Nevermind hah, I can track it here. Just let me know if you only need the CSV data.

If you were looking to get NCAAM into Hoot Draft so you can run a draft board with it, I can do that too, it'll just take a tiny bit longer to do it in both places.

(for me): helpful list of abbreviations: https://www.reddit.com/r/CFB/wiki/abbreviations URL for player list: https://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/playersearch?last_name_begins=A&print_rows=9999

Yes! just the CSV data is all I need.

mattheworres commented 5 years ago

So far I have 175 teams listed, but still need to define... 185 of them? Thus far I have over 2,800 players scraped.

mattheworres commented 5 years ago

362 teams in total, resulting in 5821 players scraped. I'll be honest, most of the team abbreviations were a best guess, and there are probably a few overlaps, but this should be pretty close: ncaam_players.txt

(rename to .csv, GIthub doesnt like CSV files for some reason but is OK with text)
